@johnkonrad Amen to this.

Take a deep breath. Really deep. Fill your lungs. Now exhale. Hold your breath until your lungs are reedy to explode. Then repeat. Now imagine that your lungs get 5% smaller each time you do this. Now imagine you are standing in a stadium with 50,000 people watching you slowly die. You are getting tired but refuse to succumb. Refuse to even kneel. That’s how it feels to be a supporter of shipbuilding during this administration. The thrill and excitement of walking into the stadium for the first time and your issue taking center stage. Fits of joy at each major milestone. Then long periods of nothing. You stand on the pitches mound waiting for the team to tun out from the dugout. You wait for the umpire to walk out with the game ball. Waiting for the game to start. It never happens. Trump has done more for American shipbuilding than any President since Nixon. He uncovered the grounds. He turned on the lights. He set up the scoreboard. He paid the salaries. And he filled the stadium with fans eager to cheers. The Maritime Executive Order The White House Maritime Action Plan The reintroduction of the SHIPs for America Act Hegseth’s Arsenal of Freedom Tour New energy at MARAD in DOT Navy acquisition reform OMB, Labor, Treasury, Energy and Commerce ready to pitch in All the pieces of the puzzle are on the table ready to be assembled. And yet nothing is getting built. The problem is shipbuilding requires a monumental all of government approach. It’s not a Mavy problem or a Merchant Marine problem or a USCG problem or a Steel, or UN, or alliances or whatever It’s a truly all of government problem. All the players are ready but we have no manager calling a huddle and walking everyone out to the field. The outgoing secretary of the Navy John Phelan did a lot of good, but he never called that huddle. Will Hung Cao? He has the enthusiasm and passion and ability to lead the team. Problem is he has an enormous Navy to run. Hung Cao needs a manager, a pitching coach, a batting coach… a small cadre of guys who really understand shipbuilding. Not just Naval shipbuilding but the entire landscape of commercial, finance, trades, union, allies best practices, and all the levers of government available. Now is the time. It shouldn’t have to be the duty of @SECNAV to hold this much water but every other department tasked (except OMB) has stood their and watched as opportunity after opportunity sailed by. There is still enough excitement for shipbuilding to start the game but the pitcher is quickly running out of breaths. The game needs to start asap and @HungCao_VA has the last chance before the midterms to start the show.

@cenkuygur @artforliberty24 Dude, who’s making laws that say that? Spiraling?

Any rule or law in America that says you can't criticize Israel is utterly unacceptable. Anyone who passes that kind of law shoud be thrown out of office immediately. We should not give away our First Amendment rights or trash our constitution to make a foreign government happy.

Meet Matt Doogen, he’s a pilot for @united. He just changed his cover photo on Facebook to “8647” which is known to symbolize kiIIing Trump. Would you feel safe with him flying your plane? Any comment @united ?

We. Need. YOU!!! Send your tips on citizenship discrimination in hiring, in PERM listings etc. — to IER at USDOJ dot GOV!

@ReverendWarnock His mouth is moving…. He’s LYING AGAIN. 🖕🖕🖕

Trump's Supreme Court is dragging us back to the dark and ugly days of Jim Crow. x.com/abc/status/204…

@zoomafrika1 Oh, they don’t need our money anymore? Great!!

When will USA leave Africa alone ?

@Nibiru1000 @JohnSmithNew2 I’ll NEVER get over it.

This was 12 hours before his death. You can’t tell me this man wasn’t murdered. Rest in Power, MJ 🕊️👑

@GuntherEagleman lol he could handle it I’m sure. I’d love to see him do it one day. They should all take turns!

LOL! Marco Rubio just stepped into the White House press briefing room like a BOSS pretending to fill in while Karoline Leavitt is on maternity leave. 🤣🤣🤣

@0hour1 @SaltyGoat17 can’t nap unless I’m super sick.

Best time of day for a nap?

Allow me to translate socialist to English. When Mamdani says, "NYC faces a budget crisis," he means, "we ran out of other people's money." When he says, "we need new revenue," he means, "we're going to tax people more." But wait, he already "taxed the rich" straight out of the city. So, who does that leave him to tax now? The next richest class. Then the one below that. And the one below that. It happens the same way every time. Isn't socialism neat?

@ABmrJutt @ShadowsExposed This happened to me both times. I couldn’t even hold my babies.

I learn more and more unsettling things abt delivery everyday

@joekent16jan19 @DTochinskiy Do you understand that they have no where to store their oil and will have to shut down their wells without knowing how long it will take to reopen?? They are on the brink dummy

Continuing the blockade puts far more pressure on us than on Iran. Iran has proven it can endure economic pain—it has been doing so since 1979. The blockade will not force Iran to abandon uranium enrichment, ballistic missiles, or its proxy networks. Instead, the blockade is hurting the American people and creating serious domestic pressure on POTUS: Gas prices will continue to rise as we head into the midterms, harming the working class voters who overwhelmingly backed Trump and Republicans—putting GOP majorities in serious jeopardy. Staging three carrier battle groups plus a massive build up of airpower in CENTCOM to enforce the blockade is unsustainable—it hands an emboldened IRGC ample opportunities to strike U.S. forces and drag America back into war on Iran’s terms. The global fallout only increases the pressure on us, not Iran: Beyond the oil and gas crisis, the blockade is now triggering a global fertilizer shortage that will cause major food security crises and potential famines in vulnerable regions. The smarter path is clear: withdraw, declare victory, and use sanctions relief as our negotiating leverage with Iran. This resets the talks on our terms, avoids war, and prevents further escalation of the energy crisis at home and abroad.

@BarackObama Only a very small fraction of the population is still charmed by you. Slithering snake. Evil fuck.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

What?!!

So not only did sanctuary policies facilitate circumstances that allowed an unlicensed, uninsured illegal alien to hit my 22yo daughter and then flee, leaving her permanently and profoundly disabled, our esteemed @GovofCO (sarcasm) will actively hinder needed therapies and services for her as well as hinder my ability to be her full time caregiver because she requires 24/7 care. While simultaneously throwing millions upon millions of dollars, to services for people like the woman that stole my daughter’s future. Who did not have to pay one cent towards her medical expenses (remember, no insurance). We were denied the wheelchair Carissa needs and I pay for her physical therapy out of pocket. But people who should not be here will have all their medical needs provided. Let that sink in.

@1Nicdar Miami

What Florida city would you never move to, even if someone paid you to do so?

I've said it from the beginning: lying to Congress is a felony. Destroying federal records is a felony. Advising others to destroy federal records is a felony. Fauci did all three. His adviser was just indicted. Fauci is next. The deadline to prosecute Fauci is May 11. The DOJ must act now. nypost.com/2026/04/28/us-…

🚨 HOLY CRAP! No WONDER Gavin Newsom is suing to block Trump's executive order requiring barcode tracking for mail-in ballots CA vote fraudster Shakir Khan had 71 NAMES and 41 COMPLETED MAIL-IN BALLOTS at his single house They want to protect fraud.

@PatriciaHeaton @TGalloy Exactly!!

I know everyone is loving King Charles right now but he, Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan all support the radical Islamists taking over their country.

Just weeks after 4 ambulances from a Jewish service were firebombed, another antisemitic stabbing attack in Golders Green.

@RealCandaceO SHUT UP CANDACE. Just go away. You RUINED your career. I can’t believe I ever liked you. I’m assuming that Bridgette is a woman at this point. Every thing you’ve ever said is tarnished and ruined. Moron

Very uncomfortable to watch. Painful prompter read. A speech CLEARLY written by someone else. Objectively terrible so they will now pay for people to tell us otherwise. Also, of everything I’ve said about Erika she chooses to respond to something I never said. They always lie.
